I'm currently working on my first Django app after years of working with WordPress and right now I'm feeling a little lost so please be gentle.
I'm using the Mezzanine / Cartridge combo to set up an online store for the company I'm working with, so far I've been extending the base cartridge models and overriding templates to do what I need (adding extra fields, different types of product variations etc) but over the last few days there have been a couple of instances where I've hit brick walls. The first is using the SagePay payment processor. The SagePay docs aren't really aimed at django or python and the django-payments app I've been looking at wants to use its own form in order to accept the card details. The Cartridge form system is a little confusing to me and it doesn't appear to be too friendly to messing with it. The second is something even simpler where I just want to adjust the way that product variations are output in the cart, again though the forms system was getting in the way so I've resorted to a pretty disgusting hack to get it to do what I need. So, to the question...Would it be OK just to clone the Cartridge app in my project and make all the overrides I need there? Would this cause massive pain when new releases comes out? Are there any other potential drawbacks I should be aware of and what is considered the best practice with this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
